Someone with more technical knowledge than I, please give me some advice as to which component of my computer needs to be upgraded first in order to improve my frame rate...

P3 750
128 MB RAM
Nvidia TNT2

So which component is contributing the most to my poor frame rate? I suspect the video card, but don't know for sure.

RAM and Graphics card.

Make sure you got enough space to handle MoH:AA, too.

Its real cheap right now I just went for 128 to 512 and it made a HUGE impact. Not only on games but your whole system will run better. I got mine for $150 CND

It's not so much being on a budget as refusing to cave in to spending a bunch of money just to play a game. I just want to get my system to a level that will allow me to compete at a decent frame rate. I'm sick of leading a target and watching the bullet hit 3 feet behind. Jeez, when there are a bunch of people on the screen, they just kind of teleport in 5 foot increments.
